Lysozyme ELISA Kit

Lysozymes, also known as muramidase or N-acetylmuramide glycanhydrolase, are glycoside hydrolases that damage bacterial cell walls by catalyzing hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins. Lysozyme is abundant in a number of secretions, such as tears, saliva, human milk, and mucus. It is also present in cytoplasmic granules of the macrophages and the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). BioVision’s Lysozyme ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of human Lysozyme in serum, plasma and biological fluid. The density of color is proportional to the amount of human Lysozyme captured from the samples.
